Interesting on a number of levels

This thread about the Oriana makes interesting reading on a number of levels which I think we can identify with..........

Future of ship...............with special mention of Thomson......

Don't suppose it's anything more than speculation but the size and age (1994 slightly newer than Majesty) sort of fits with Thomson although I don't like the plumbing similarities!!!!! :rolleyes:

mucky water coming out of the shower!.... serious water leak on deck B!.... intermittent toilets! .... the owners steadfastly denying stuff? :rolleyes: .......perfect ;):) (a home from home) :)

"It will probably be Thomson's 'new' ship"

A bit sarcastic I thought :rolleyes:

Almost certainly was Linda................ however, it wouldn't be bad in some respects (if we have to give up on a new build :rolleyes: ) as although not significantly newer than any of the other Thomson ships it is a piece bigger with more public space so actually seems less busy, has a proper theatre with no pillars or problems with sight-lines, two large restaurants, a decent selection of bars (plus a good crow's nest - Horizons style but very much larger), coffee bar, cinema etc. Don't know how many balconies though which is a direction Thomson has been moving towards.

Probably got no foundation although I think Dave has said he thought the Oriana would be going............... time will tell but whether Thomson is thinking of increasing/up-grading their fleet and even if so, whether they'd go for something newer, is anyone's guess. Certainly don't want any ships with problems whatever! :rolleyes:

P.S. Mis-quoted you dave, sorry. That was the Oceana - just read your post!

118 balconies according to my Berlitz guide. But, as you say, Kruzseeka, we don't want anothership with plumbing problems :rolleyes:
